You decide to ignore Daniela’s instruction… as well as turning a blind eye to the peril that she is in after being dragged off by a rock troll!

Instead, you move towards the golden jewellery on the ground.

Shiny!

You pick up the bracelet. It feels warm in your hand. Well, why wouldn’t it — it just came off Daniela’s wrist. She could be fighting for her life right now, in the troll’s dark home. But what do you care about your wife’s safety and wellbeing, right?

Besides… the bracelet is magic. You saw Daniela do a magic trick with it. You now realize that you need that power…

Fiddling with the bracelet, you try to replicate the movements that Daniela made with her fingers back in the bedchamber.

BANG!

Oops.

It appears that you didn’t know how to use the dangerous magical alien artefact, and that you have now been blown to smithereens.

Karma, huh?

The End…

But because there is no real justice in either life or death, click here to find out what fun adventures you can now have in the afterlife.
